Monday Night Football in Week 8 has the Detroit Lions looking to bounce back at home against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders are banged up at key positions with Maxx Crosby limited in practice all week with a knee injury, CB Nate Hobbs missed 4 weeks with an ankle injury, and Marcus Peters was limited in practice on Friday with a back injury. Jimmy Garoppolo is expected to return to the lineup this week.
On the Detroit side, guard Jonah Jackson, center Frank Ragnow, and RB David Montgomery were all non-participants in practice. You can read all of our'Week 8 NFL predictions, but now let's look at my favorite NFL player props for MNF.
Jahmyr Gibbs (DET) over 24.5 receiving yards (-114)
Rookie RB Jahmyr Gibbs is coming off his highest snap share of the season (87%) and although it was a blowout loss to the Ravens, he put up some big numbers. Gibbs saw 10 targets for 9 receptions and 58 receiving yards. The rookie RB should be in for another high-volume game with David Montgomery likely to be still sidelined and the Raiders defense allowing 7 targets and 5 receptions per game to opposing RBs.
